In Case You Missed It – Disney and Universal Orlando News and Rumors

So, there’s this…Disney is thinking of adding a resort fee to your hotel stay. I’m going to be frank and say that this is something I personally abhor. It is a pet peeve of mine when hotels do this. What say you? Would you have a problem with this? (Especially when it seems that most of the things mentioned as part of the “resort fee” are already things you get for staying at the resort currently.)

The internet has exploded because of this lady. I kind of love the story behind this one. It’s something I would do.

Looking for a turkey leg? You’re not going to be able to get one at Disney’s Animal Kingdom going forward. First the churro, now this? What are you doing Animal Kingdom?

I hate additional fees. Roll costs into the current pricing (which keeps going up anyway) or don’t bother. I’m surprised Disney is even considering it considering how frustrated customers have been since airlines decided to charge fees for checked bags (previously free) and meals and snacks (previously free) and anything else they could come up with. It’s lousy customer service, and it’s not like people aren’t already paying an arm and a leg to stay there. Don’t do it, Disney!

I think resort fees should be illegal. It allows a hotel to advertise lower rates than the customer will ultimately have to pUrchase (false advertising). Since everyone has to pay the resort fee anyway just raise the room rates. I don’t understand what WDW is trying to accomplish here. Resort fees are a shady way of charging a consumer more…again if you want to make more money just raise the room rates.
